OLB might be a greater need, but OT is a much thinner position in this draft. Ted might wanna do the boring thing and grab a swing T.

I think we draft an OT and a OG early. Not sexy, but to me makes sense with Lang, Clifton and Bac becoming FAs next year.

OK, let's here some actual names here. Who are those Slippery Rock or Ball State or U of Miami (OHIO) that Ted Thompson is looking at this year ?

Who do you like ? and Why ?

I'm not going to bite on names quite yet as we are talking Ted Thompson here but he has not gone "big" early in the last couple of drafts so I think he goes OL or DL in two of the first three rounds if the right guys name pops up.

Out of 17 picks in the last two drafts he's only selected 3 total OL and DL and none in the first two rounds (and only Khyri Thornton in the 3d in '14).

Time for some quality beef!

2nd pick I'd pick the best WR available.

Early on I think BPA weighted toward Edge, DT, OT, LB. If a really good offensive playmaker falls to us it wouldn't bother me. I don't think NT is a big need early since it's mostly a part time player in this defense.

I like it Nerd, but I do feel like you're not giving enough love to one of my favourites.

The more I think about the Packers picking Vernon Butler, the more I'm beginning to like it. If we can get him at 27 and have the luxury of brining him in slowly behind Guion, we might just have one of the best NTs in the league in a year or two. He's got that much potential.

Still, I can see how you placed him a notch below Billings. I think both can become serious players in the NFL, but for our defense especially, though, Butler should be the pick. He's a biggish NT, but due to his athleticism and pass rushing skills, he has the ability to play five technique, as well. Or, in our defense, he'd be a perfect fit for our 2-man d-line and should be abl to get on the field in every package.

Nice job nerd.
Can't comment too much on college players. I will say for the most part I hate tweeners. They don't really seem to fit anywhere. That is not to say that I don't like players who are so athletic that they are able to play more than one position or in more than one formation.

dfosterf (1h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (1h) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (2h) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (2h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (2h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (2h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (2h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (2h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (2h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (3h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (3h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (3h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (3h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (3h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (3h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (5h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (5h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (5h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (21h) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
